Fancy, and with reason as they are proven excellent recordings. Long out of print. Vinyl in unplayed condition, although they have been played once or twice. Price: 150.00 plus shipping.
What quality of a LP can be better than digitally mastered??c-J
You must be joking
I have a couple of dozen of digitally mastered lp's. They don't come close to being at the top of my collection in sound quality. With a moniker like "Cheap Jack", you may not have encountered any of the Japanese King records, Sheffield Labs, Crystal Clear, the better MFSL, early Blue Note, top end RCA shaded dogs, or any of the lp's that you see advertised as being on the TAS listings. However, I'm curious. What are a couple of digital mastered lps that you have that you think are excellent?
Hi.What "joking"? Wait until you listen to one, then tell me who is joking what?c-J

Digital mastering negates all of vinyl's qualities which (some say) make it superior to digital: dynamics, resolution, 'less digital sounding', etc. You might as well be listening to a CD. I have listened to some. They sound very much like CDs.
... 1982. I said it again: the pipe organ sub-bass pedal notes virtually shake up my basement audio den! "Awesome"! A sound doesn't have to especially low and certainly not accurate to "shake" the walls, just loud Have you even heard any subsonic performance of any LPs that can shake up your place? Excuse me, how are you supposed to "hear" anything subsonic. It's, uh, sub (below) sonic- below the hearing range Yes, I am always pay cheap to any vendors, from vinly software to audio hardwares. 'Cause I know the audio business way way TOO well. Only unwise consumers got ripped off handily by vendors. To any vendors, I am a cheap jack (hence my pen-name!) Thank goodness we have you to save us from our silly expeditures. Your enlightenment will no doubt save me thousands of dollars that I would have wasted on those non digital lp's Another digitally mastered LP really worth mentioned is a Telarc recording of "Federick Fennel - The Cleveland Symphony Winds". A sincere thanks for this recommendation. I will look for a copy. Its dynamic ranges are awesome & make many CDs shy!(2) Yes, I auditioned Shefffield Lab direct cut LP:- "Missing Linc" by Lincoln Mayorga when it first came out in 1970s. Very impressed considering the rather Lo-Hi gear available back then. Many of those are, including the Mayorga, are still at the very top of sound quality So tell us what & how good are your "top of collection in sound quality"?????????? MFSL Elgar's Falstaff conducted by Boult, Sheffield Labs "Thelma Houston and the pressure cooker", Dallas S.O. conducted by Johannos playing Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances and Vocalise", RCA shaded dog Jasha Heifetz playing Sibelius violin concerto, A. Romero w/Previn and the LSO playing Concierto de Aranjuez on Angel Sonic Series (45 rpm), Rubenstein ..... and I DO have one digitally mastered excellent lp- the St. Paul Cathedral Orc. playing Copland's Appalachian Spring on a Sound 80 label. It was recorded with a short lived 3M digital recorder that lost out in the standardization wars.
There are some good digital records. For me, they are seldom among the best. Some Telarcs and Denons are pretty decent. BTW Frederick Fennell has at least 5 Telarc recordings with the CSW- can you narrow it down?
So the only reason you like this performance is because it can shake your bones and organs?There really is so much more to it than that. Get a massage you may feel better
